To reinforce our commitment to UK sports, Stadia are pleased to announce a partnership with the UK Javelin Association.

Clifton Green from the UK Javelin Association commented,

“The UK Javelin association was set up with some well defined goals, to increase the awareness of javelin throwing, provide multiple opportunities for new and existing athletes to get involved, establish key links with the governing bodies throughout the UK, and most importantly of all search for unknown talent to make sure the future of javelin throwing in the UK is successful. This year brings about our 3rd Annual Javelin Carnival, to be held on the 8th/9th September, and it is to be the biggest yet with the best throwers from around the country converging for the very last time in the season and take home the bragging rights. Part of the idea behind our carnival however, is to give the young stars of the future an opportunity to see the best in the UK and provide inspiration to be the very best.

“Over the past 2 years we have recognised the importance of developing links with companies associated with javelin throwing in order to add weight to the messages we are aiming to get across. In 2011 we became ambassadors for Nordic Sports, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of javelin equipment, and through that association an opportunity arose to develop an even closer link with Stadia Sports. This was an opportunity like no other. With the support, expertise and vast range of Nordic javelins held by Stadia Sports we are able to offer our members and the entire javelin community access to the best prices in the UK. Not only that but Stadia Sports share in our vision and stand by our side to ensure that the future of javelin throwing in the UK is successful. We at the UKJA have no doubt that their support will help us do just that.”

We look forward to working closely with the UK Javelin association and hope this partnership will benefit all UK javelin throwers. UKJA members will also be entitled to receive a 5% discount on athletics products supplied by Stadia Sports.

Tim Hodgson, Liberal Democrat MP,  was on Solihull High Street to unveil one of two new recycling bins installed in the Town Centre.

Tim Hodgson said: “Our ambition is to recycle at least 60% of our waste by 2020 and introducing new initiatives such as this could help us achieve just that. "

He also added: "Residents have already proved how committed and enthusiastic they are about recycling their household waste, so I hope that they and visitors to the town centre alike get involved with this new trial.”

The product in use is a Derby Quad Recycling Unit, with a capacity of 4 x 120 litres.

Designed to house a standard 100ltr wheeled bin, this heavy duty steel unit with lockable front door and laser cut apertures to match recyclables is simply lifted into position by 4 ‘hook eye’ holes at the top of the unit.

Four adjustable feet provide stability and large indicator graphics are added to help users identify recyclables to be deposited.

Broxap are pleased to announce that Keep it Kool is now a division of Broxap.

The Keep It Kool brand and product line will continue to operate under the original owners of Tony Woodfield – Business Manager, Tony Woodfield Snr – General Manager, Wayne Woodfield – Sales Manager. Tony Woodfield said "Becoming part of Broxap enables Keep It Kool to continue to expand on the wide range of shade sails and waterproof tensile structures that we already have; utilising these along with Broxap's existing Shelters and Canopies product line to create vibrant covered areas within sectors such as Education, Commercial, NHS and Local Authority"

Bedale and Colburn are trialing the Broxap SEPR8 bins to encourage shoppers to recycle more of their waste. This initiative, lead by Hambleton and Richmondshire District Council, will be trialled for 6 months, and if successful will be rolled out to more towns and in more locations.

For many areas, single litter bins were sufficient, but as the university is looking to promote its on-going recycling campaigns, a four waste stream unit was needed. To accommodate the university’s needs, Broxap took the already successful Derby Quad, and reduced its overall size, to make it both more user friendly and fit within areas where space is at a premium.
The result is a range of Broxap products, from Derby Standard litter Bins, SEPR8 recycling banks and Derby Quad (slim line variants) being selected as being the Universities choice for this and future developments.

Due to the required build phases and a restriction of the areas available to the Principal Contractor, Broxap was required to build the canopy in two separate phases which were separated by approximately 12 months. This required extensive surveying detail at the initial build phase to ensure an accurate match-up upon commencing the second phase of construction allowing us to precisely and swiftly complete the canopies.

The largest and most striking of the 6 canopies is situated at the Main Entrance; the Standing Seam Roofed Canopy is supported by attractive “Y” shaped columns which are affixed to the platform base. Lighting strip allowance has been incorporated along the length of the underside of the canopy roof to ensure that the pedestrianized area is well lit.

The Pembury hospital build is rumoured to win many construction awards and Broxap’s canopies are contributing immensely to the overall aspect!

Our clients Laing O’Rourke have reported back that they are extremely happy with the build and our professionalism and they have even suggested that there may be further work opportunities for Broxap on their forthcoming projects, further enhancing the working relationship between Laing O'Rourke and Broxap.

The Main Entrance to the Pembury Hospital New Build

A brand new Ball Hall at Parkestone Girls Grammar School in Poole was recently opened by Tottenham Hotspur Manager, Harry Redknapp. Stadia Sports Installations helped design and equip the new four badminton court size sports hall facility. The £1.35m project also included a staff office, class/meeting room and two 32 person changing rooms.

At the Opening Ceremony the Chair of Governors, Cary Wicks said that she had been working to achieve a sports hall for ten years and it was “serendipity” that the school had found Ball Hall. She went on to praise the Ball Hall team for delivering such a quality facility at a price that the school could afford.

If you’d like to find out more about our sports hall installation service, contact us on 01353 668686.

A new Ball Hall sports facility was recently opened by Her Majesty the Queen at St John's Beaumont in Windsor. The £2m facility includes a rock climbing wall, a state-of-the-art cricket facility, rowing room, gymnasium and a sports hall.

The sports hall also provides enough room for assembly space, allowing examinations and presentations to take place. An ingenious demountable draping system installed during construction enables the conversion of the main sports hall to an elegant indoor space for gatherings of the school community and other social engagements.

Stewart Dennerley, Managing Director of Stadia Sports Installations said "Everyone involved in the Ball Hall project at St John's Beaumont has worked incredibly hard to deliver the highest quality finish and bring the most suitable products to the build, ensuring that the school is left with a facility that will serve them well for years to come. We were honoured to be part of this amazing effort, and having Her Majesty the Queen open the facility was a proud moment for us all and a fitting end to the project."

Our Ronnie Recycler is a teaching component allowing teachers to create activities and competitions to excite and allow their pupils to have an active role in recycling. Our ethos behind the recycling unit is to increase awareness and the desire to recycle at both home and in school.

Broxap is aiming to encourage teachers to utilise recyclable material found in the classroom to create their own Ronnie Recycler Robot to increase inclusive play for children as well as teaching them the importance of recycling. After they have built their very own Ronnie Recycler we then want the pupils to correctly identify recyclable materials with the aid of our recycling iconography on the lid apertures, supporting the integration of recycling with current curriculum.  Our recycling iconography assists young children in recognizing the images on the apertures in relation to the recyclable materials they have and helps to indicate the correct bin to use.

Broxap are also supplying a solution to your voucher collection boxes, offering a new, strong and lockable Voucher Collection Bin. Students, Parents and staff alike can see their efforts with the growing amount of vouchers seen through the tough Perspex panel. Provided with a weatherproof hooded top and lockable doors customers can place the collection bin either indoors or outdoors!

With flexible payment terms available the eco –council in every school should consider using our recycling development programme.  For more information on these products please don’t hesitate to contact us on: 01782 571666

Ronnie Recycler Graphic.

Children at Hillside Primary School in Stoke-on-Trent have already caught the “love where you learn” bug. 

As one part of Broxap’s latest “love where you…”waste disposal campaign, we are urging local communities to pull together and utilise our bins to support “love where you live”, to nurture a litter-free neighbourhood environment.

Using The Derby Range of Recycling Units (renowned to be the toughest in the UK with a virtually indestructible door hinge system!) we are helping by providing such attributes as the cigarette stub and gum disposal options, as such small features can make a big difference to the streets.

We also offer our bestselling Sepr8 Recycling Units, available with custom graphics and colour coded apertures, which allows recycling to be made fun and accessible for all the family. The recycling unit is easy to use as it clearly indicates what waste should go where choosing from up to five waste streams with graphics on the lids to help.

Broxap has a strong recycling ethos, and we provide an efficient and cost effective refurbishment programme which allows customers to revive a tired recycling unit, the ultimate programme for reduce, reuse, recycle!

As part of this campaign we are proud to launch our latest product The Trojan Recycling Unit. With the aesthetics of the community areas becoming increasingly important we have created the first bin in the litter bin market with a unique roller shutter door complete with customised graphics!  Our new stylish roller door has a reduced risk of hitting members of the public when opened to empty, as well as reducing protrusion onto the footpath so areas of high foot traffic can remain undisturbed.

Available in a multiple of capacities varying from 120ltr to 1280ltr the Trojan Recycling unit is suitable for applications from commercial premises to supermarket sites. Our flexibility is a key benefit as we have designed the Trojan to be either built on the site, or simply placed straight into a customer’s chosen position.  The bins are manufactured from mild steel box section side frame construction complete with 2mm gauge galvanised panels and doors. Broxap can also offer optional custom graphics for the panels to suit a client’s brief and create a unique recycling unit. We have ensured that the ergonomical footprint is reduced by fitting the bin concisely around the internal liner making the Trojan extremely space efficient.

Broxap’s products will help to reduce waste on the street and with a variety of reliable recycling units available, we plan to encourage local authorities and individuals alike to use them effectively and help save the planet step by step.

Sheffield City Council picked this particular option was chosen with the aims to increase revenue by commercial opportunities through bin advertisement. Each advertising panel can hold A3 sized paper and is secured with an internal lock on the front allowing the advertisements to be interchangeable and safe.

Broxap customised the Derby by transferring a gold Sheffield City Council logo onto the front and back as well as laser cut ‘LITTER’ gold text beneath each of the four sloping mouth posting apertures.  For the lid design we added a Pyramid Lid completed with a self-closing cigarette Stirling style ashtray which aims to act as a deterrent for cigarette butts littering the street.

The tough Zintec steel construction makes the Derby Flagship ideal for high streets and the litter bin is finished in Powder Galvanized Prime and anti-graffiti Polyurethane Powder Coat. With a 120 litre capacity the Derby enabled Sheffield City Council to empty the litter bins less frequently and with a low risk of overflowing; this provided the council with a cost effective solution as there is less cost for emptying.

In the first year alone over a one tonne of recyclable waste such as, plastic bottles, cans, mixed paper and cardboard were recycled.

The overall concepts of collection from the University grounds has proven extremely popular and due to this factor Nottingham University are looking at phasing out a number of their standard litter bins and replacing them with their new order for another 25 SEPR8s arrives in November 2008.

The University produces over 1,600 tonnes of waste from its campuses and Halls of Residences and is committed to reducing the amount of waste that is going to Landfill sites. To increase its recycling rates the university contacted Broxap to install twenty SEPR8 Recycling bins.

The four apertures for the different types of waste streams fit perfectly with the University’s policy of segregating waste at source and it is hoped that these bins will make a significant difference to the recycling figures.

The university have expressed clear intent in doing future business with Broxap for more products.

Plymouth currently have 20 Stainless Steel SEPR8’s for external recycling, these units complement the existing contemporary street furniture, and are situated in all key locations around the campus.

Internally, there are 32 SEPR8’s which cream polyester powder coating units. These were designed to be in keeping with the new modern environment that has been created.

The recycling bin project has demonstrated the flexibility of Broxap; we have not only contributed to contemporising the way in which people think about recycling, but also encouraged the younger generation and NHS staff alike to actively do it.

The colourful artwork displayed on the front of the bins (which can be seen in the picture below) was designed by 12 years old Blackpool local, Ellie Spickett, winner of the NHS Trusts Art Competition.

We used 14 of our SEPR8 range recycling bins with Ellie’s design applied and through its success there are hopes to extend the contract further by covering other sites within the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Hospitals.

Working in collaboration with the NHS Trust has displayed our strength in product differentiation as we offer a service whereby the consumers can customize their products in relation to their given briefs.

Richard Moore, Waste Reduction Officer for the Trust, said: “The designs are excellent. They really do catch the eye and encourage people to recycle. It is really important that we do all we can do to encourage people, including our staff, to dispose of their waste and these bins will really help.”

The bins are available on http://www.litterbin.co.uk/products/bx45_sepr8-l-s_single_sided_sepr8_recycling_centre.php

As part of the revamp order, Liverpool Hope University chose our Derby Slimline Steel Litter Bin. It was chosen to suit the adjacent area in terms of practicality to provide space where anticipated foot traffic would be. We assured the University that not only the bins secure with our unbeatable lock features, but they had a 10 year structural guarantee proving our confidence in our products durability.

The robustness of our products fortified Liverpool Hope to invest in 2 further products of our recycling range.  The Daventry Internal Recycling Unit – Double was chosen to be used for the simplicity and effectiveness of the recycling unit.  

The SEPR8 Office Spacesaver Recycling Bins were coloured to suit the contemporary brief given, coated in a Light Ivory shade; also customising the product with the University’s logo on the front. The aim of using these different recycling units is to encourage the staff and students of the university to recycle responsibly. 

Wanting help to raise the profile of the city, Glasgow City Council came to Broxap wanting to work with a trusted quality supplier; requiring new and creative designs as well as being practical amenities. From this brief we decided to generate a range of Bespoke designs which were easy to stack and fit into the surrounding city areas.

The council wanted to revamp the tired planters in the city centre, the planter sleeves were designed about manufactured in Nottingham, where we applied a new Stainless Steel coat to help in regenerating their image.

Broxap took into consideration Glasgow City Councils desire to raise awareness for recycling on the go, so we designed and built an immediately recognisable unit for public use. We devoted designs to a specification that would help to modernise the way in which the community recycle as well as ensuring litter is disposed of properly. Being the conscientious business we are, Broxap produced a unique design for the Council that was both practical and eye-catching.  We ensured pictures of what’s suitable to be put in the recycling section underneath differing apertures so there is clarification as to which is to be used for waste or recycling.

Additionally we have managed to secure further deals with the Glasgow County Council as we were able to provide a vast quantity of our Sheffield Cycle Stands. This helps to provide the locals the ability to maintain a healthier lifestyle with a more active approach to travelling. By supplying useful products from our other divisions helps to prove we are a one stop shop for Street Furniture needs.

Onchan District Commissioners requested the Derby Sack Holder litter bins be personalized with a vibrant red coloured paint to stand out as a clear indication as to where the public may dispose of their waste.  Using this durable finish not only means that we guaranteed the products reliability and coastal weather resistance; we also met the clients colour brief requirements. Seagull Flaps are fitted to all apertures preventing seagulls from scattering any potential litter, allowing the waste to be securely enclosed. The Derby allows a large 300ltr capacity, meaning the risk of overfilling on the coastal front is reduced.

One of the 18 Derby 300ltr Sack Holders that can be found along the picturesque Onchan coastal front.

Using the aid of colourful bright graphics we have been able to style the recycling unit in a bright and instructive manner. The colour coded external flaps help to clearly indicate which section the child needs to deposit their recycling goods. The simple single-sided recycling bin will help to reduce the reliance on landfills to get rid of visitors waste helping to extend the popular holiday homes green factor.

Aberdeen ordered 12 of our Daventry internal recycling units, each with a 60 Litre capacity. The design brief from the collage was to ensure that the range of bins fit discreetly within the learning environment and our lightweight steel recycling unit does just that, allowing students to develop a natural recycling habit. 

Their recycling concern developed further, and the college decided to be more recycling active, purchasing our Battery Bespoke product. The Battery bins lockable opening with removable front door allows for easier emptying of the clear cylindrical plastic internal liner and there have been fitted internal guidelines for correct disposal. Normally there is a transparent door fixed; however Aberdeen specified they want the unit customised with their college logo, so we affixed a steel door with the design logo to cohere with their other purchased recycling products.

We also had an order placed for our Derby Slimline Steel litter bin, it is both a strong and durable product with 10 year structural guarantee, and so less expense for the college in the long-term. We also ensured that the bins were lockable, so waste is secure in the outdoor area, and protected from any potential vandalism. We also guided the college to choose the Derby Slimline as it is ideal for where footpath space is limited (i.e. where wheelchair access is required or there is heavy foot traffic, such as a college).

A final purchase we received was of our 169 Litre grit bins. Once more these are heavy duty products with a rigid outer structure which includes a strong “through-rod” hinge system which helps to combat any potential vandalism on the college’s site.

Broxap offer a customising system whereby the client can add their desired design to the bin and still have the high standard quality finish.

Other encoraging statistics include "This year (10/11) saw a rise in recycling rates to 69% (well above target) and a fall in the amount sent to landfill by a massive 32% to 156 Tonnes."

This challenge was overcome by installing communal recycling bins in these areas e.g. Ross Terrace in Stornoway.  This will enable all households to continue recycling. This approach will be used throughout the island in similar circumstances.

Centrally we fitted an infant play unit complete with slide, curved climber, cargo net and steel feet and safer surfaced the whole area with a blue speckled wet pour rubber. For extra fun and activity for those with a "musical flare" we fitted some musical panels to the fence too. All of this has totally transformed this once grey and open hard surfaced area.

The design was to create a linked trim trail consisting of a mix of low and high level items to allow for the use of the equipment by both KS1 and KS2 children. The centre piece was a bespoke built castle that commanded a view over the playing field and road. The castle consisted of a 2m x 2m floor set at between 1.5m - 2m high, a climbing wall, steps, archways, flags and a slide.

The result is a very appealing and usable adventurous activity area set against the main hard play areas to make it usable for most of the year with the use of Saferfall mats laid onto a membrane.

The new 'Little Captains' play unit was specially designed for this site with its curved panel, triangular floor and our new type steel feet and it's ideal for the younger ones, it will now feature in our new catalogue.

The project involved creating a very colourful and challenging trim trail / assualt course within an enclosed area of the school grounds.

The results as you can see from the pictures are dramatic with the project being a huge success.

Playline were asked to provide quotes for this project and won through with our very bespoke and interesting designs. The brief was to remove the old play unit and cover over the areas of existing safer surfacing so that they weren't visible upon completion.

Our plans included 2 major bespoke pieces, these were the 'Play Ship' & 'Play Castle' together with their respective safer surfaces which had to be bright welcoming. Coupled with this Playline also installed a second Mayflower play unit into the school as they liked the first one so much!!!

The original 2 phases consisted of a 'Play Bus', 'Mayflower' Play unit with wet pour rubber, 'Imagination Playhouse' and thermoplastic markings.

Playline have introduced steel feet for their units together with innovative 'leaf style' roofs for a very pleasant finish. It is anticipated that these will be rolled out across the range in the very near future. The project is due to complete at the end of February 2009 at which stage we should have some excellent pictures. North Cornwall District Council are overseeing the work and Playbuilder, who have funded the project are using it as an example to other local groups to promote what is posible when the community gets together and works very hard to achieve a fantastic outcome for the local children. The local people concerned have been actively on site taking pictures and watching the outcome to years of grant sourcing and meetings and hopefully taking a well earned break from it all!!!

On the same playground we provided a seating area in the form of our Plymouth Longship boat, a Fireball for ball games and ball shooting skills made especially lower for the younger ones, some Toadstools for storytelling and some thermoplastic markings to brighten the remainder of the area and to provide that extra aspect of physical play without the risk of running into obstacles.

In January 2009 we have just developed the junior playground and field are with a well designed trim trail, Fireball, markings and access to the pond area by means of a deck and pathway. Photos to come soon of the junior area. Please take a look at the KS1 area pictures above.

Altogether a great success with 'Suzie' the headteacher remarking that 'The whole project has transformed play / lunchtimes & has given the children a real focus as well as a sense of enjoyment. The well being of pupils & staff has improved as has the development of teaching beyond the classroom'.

Widely used by the larger Scandanavian companies, in Britain there are very few that use steel feet.

This option takes the quality of Playline Design's products to an even higher level, especially within the schools section where this option isn't readily available. The cost of using steel feet doesn't add a great deal to the price of the unit but will provide the assurance of knowing that ground rot will not be a problem in years to come.

This project goes to prove that if you deal with Playline Design Ltd, you will get a first class project from design to completion and are dealing with a company that is trusted and used by major authorities and major contractors nationally. Just take a look at the pictures of some of the stages of the work.

Playline Design were awarded the £60k contract against 2 other well established professional playground companies due to our bespoke and natural looking design.

The brief was to create as much activity for the cubs, scouts and other children that stay on or use the facilities, to combine it in with the natural environment and create a natural play area.

For this reason our timber equipment was chosen, along with green components and our ever popular Woodland Play safer surfacing - some 380m² of it!!!

In the near centre of the main area stood an ancient knurly old Oak tree which other companies tried to avoid with their plans - we did just the opposite and designed a whole "village" of play towers with one main tower set around the tree itself.

The result is a fantastically challenging, individual and most importantly accessible for less able and wheelchair users alike.

For this reason the camp has invited the local special needs schools in to use the activities and to see just for themselves as to what can be done.

The second area consisted of a huge trim trail winding its way through the trees, again to provide challenges for many ages and abilities.

Just look at these pictures in detail as they do tell the story of what a wonderful project that this turned out to be.

Within this rural setting Playline installed a Zip Wire, Toddlers Kingdom Play Unit, Swings & the Atlantic Challenge junior climbing centre.

All of this was built on cleared & leveled land.

The brief was to provide a play area that was in keeping with the surroundings of the rural area but also be as attractive as possible for all age ranges of children.

The main junior play unit was the ever popular "St Ives", the younger children's unit was again the ever popular "Toddlers Kingdom" & all linked together with springies, a castle, slide, balancing equipment & saferfall safer surface.

Playline were able of course to match the safety standards imposed by the MOD & were also able to manufacture & install something that was completely different to other play areas & was almost a tribute to the fathers & mothers of the children who use the Nursery who in their everyday job risk life & limb helping others.

The wet pour safer surfacing also uplifted the area providing a very vibrant area for the excited young children.

The project was sponsored by "ProDrive" the rally car professionals. The result was a 'rally inspired' very creative play area to a very high specification.

The comments of the hospital says it all "You are all doing a fantastic job & we would have no hesitation in recommending your company to friends & colleagues".
